What's the best way to get rid of hiccups?

Holding my breath and drinking water has worked for me.... I just had a bout on Saturday, actually. BUT... I have to have 'just the right' deep breath.... almost like a deep yawn. As soon as I do that and drink a few gulps of water, they go away.

Hmmmmm, spoonful of sugar, eh?

Wonder if I can substitute a spoonful of Ben and Jerry's

When i was a child and had hiccups, my mom always gave me peanut butter. Cured them everytime.

Breathing properly, with the diaphragm, as a singer does, and while doing this raise your arms very high above you, and then stretch low to the ground while exhaling. This never fails

We all have cures that we swear by, what works for you?

Whenever one of my friend had hiccups, I do shock them or scare them by listening to me..

Like when I hear her/his hiccup, I tell them suprisingly " Do you know someone told that you are arrogant, ###### (or whatever nasty things that you could get his/her full attention..) and then they will answer me like," who told you that?" with an anger or amusement in their face.. Then I will keep talking to them that someone is making a gossip, until I saw that the hiccup is gone.. After that I will tell them I just created that story to let their hiccups go away,,,, and then they realized that the hiccups are gone we all ended up laughing.

My friends really like me on doing that for them, but they dont believe with me anymore, because now they know my secret and they do it as well to somebody needs to get away with hiccups..

This really works, try this to one of your friend, someone did this to me..and i really had a bad hiccup that time.. it really helps!
